• Taking simple notes

note This is a new note, You do not even need to use quotes. Unless, \
  ofcourse, I am using a special character like '?' or "'" or '"'.

• Bookmarking links

note bookmark https://github.com/Chaitanyabsprip/note

# You can also use short forms of subcommands
note b https://github.com/Chaitanyabsprip/note

# bookmark also has a TUI form option. You can invoke it with the following
# command
note b

• Making to-do lists

note todo I need to get this done

# And of course, with the short forms
note td I need to get this done
note t I need to get this done

• Local issues

note issue --title "The title of the issue needs to be quoted" However the \
  description of the issue does not need to be. This is amazing\!

# And again, the short forms
note i # this will invoke the TUI form.

You can invoke the -h flag for the main program or any subcommand to know its CLI.

Why, yet another, note-taking tool?

I am lazy and did not want to search for a tool and find the one that fulfills my needs and method of working. I did not want to go through the pain of reading a bunch of readme-s, usage documentation and trying out tools to find my fit. And yes I realize I had to, and I am having to do that any way during the development of this project. I enjoy learning and every project is a new opportunity for exactly that. Having to go through readme-s of libraries, tools, documentation and the whole process of planning, designing and implementing a product is valuable even outside this project.
